Kvinesdal

From fjords and mountains to old mines, via ferratas, and festivals – Kvinesdal offers rich nature, cultural history, and even a little piece of America! Explore this gem in Southern Norway below.

Located between Kristiansand in Southern Norway and Stavanger in Fjord Norway, Kvinesdal is situated by the Fedafjord and is surrounded by mountains. Here, you can hike, fish, and relax by the sea. The Kvina river is a popular place for salmon fishing.

In addition to the beautiful nature, you can get a taste of American culture here as well. Many residents emigrated in the 1800s and brought some of that culture with them when they returned, which is celebrated at the annual American emigration festival, held each summer. 

The region is also known for the Summer Conference at Sarons dal, the historic town Feda, and Utsikten Hotell Kvinesdal, which offers panoramic views of the valley. In the far north lies Knaben, an old mining town that was occupied by Nazi forces during World War II.

As temperatures drop, the region turns into a winter wonderland, and you can challenge yourself on the downhill slopes and on well-groomed cross-country tracks at Knaben Ski Resort.
